Glad to hear you all had a great weekend!!

As for myself, I woke up to the witch this morning right on time.. temp hasn't dropped to cover yet, but she's def here. I didn't feel like going anywhere but I had to go and finish paying for our furniture we picked out yesterday. Ended up finding a bedroom set we both liked and dh, being him, picked out a 60 in flat screen he was drooling over yesterday. I thought they were gonna have to pry that money outta my hands!! But I guess I would rather pay more and have better quality that's gonna last a long time. Now all we have left to do is get the power hooked up and we'll finally be in our house!
I'm still not feeling great about last month being bust.. I really had a good feeling about it, but I know its not gonna happen on my time.. His time only. Keep trying an keep praying and it'll happen when its meant to is all I can think. Still doesnt keep me from getting stressed out with it all.

Despite what I just posted above...It's the middle of the night, I cant sleep and all I can think about is my angel babies. I think the depression I'm feeling right now should be called Empty Womb Syndrome.
I feel so lost in this ttc journey.
But I WONT give up!
Now if I could just fall asleep

Hello Ladies

I hope you will accept me in your Group. I am Astrid, 34, from Germany. We are trying for our first Baby for 2 years now, had a MC in the meantime. Doctors discovered Insulin resistance and i am now on myo-inositol for the last 2 months. This months i OV on day 11!!! so i am pretty much sure i am out this month but somehow i can't stop hoping... :)))
Wish you ladies a great day!

I've been wondering if my sanity can handle it.. the mental strength it takes to keep trying month after month, I'm really wearing myself down. I know its completely worth it to get that end result, its just extremely hard sometimes.

Tara I've seen your strength and I know you can do this. I'm sorry that you had such a hard time last night, we just gotta keep on keeping on! Know that it'll all come to be in His time.

Welcome Astrid, this is a great group to be in for support, laughs, and sharing crazy. So make yourself at home!

Mandy how's it going your way?

Tara it is HARD, you my dear have been through more than I have and yet your strength to carry on gives me strength. I think about my two angel babies all the time, especially when I am having doubts and around my due dates. I also wonder if/when it is ever going to happen. I believe in Gods time but I also fight the demons asking why are all these crack heads having babies? Why would God give them one and not me? I will try Femara/IUI in April and depending on scheduling I am making him let me do injections in May IF it doesn't interfere with our Napa Valley trip. Same with June, we are going to Santa Monica/LA for a week so depending on schedules it may be July before we try another round. I'm praying of course it doesn't come to that but if it does maybe a couple months off would do me some good! Help me relax :-) IF after a round of injections I still am not pregnant I will move on to IVF. However he will have to let me try injections/IUI before I move to IVF. I want to be able to say that we tried EVERYTHING.

Astrid22, and WELCOME!!!

@Jace's Mom, I am good.. 6DPO today so nothing out of the ordinary to report. I refuse to symptom spot cause every month I have pregnancy symptoms. LOL
I have had weird cramping since ovulation but I am chalking it up to NORMAL. This morning I got really nauseous in the truck on the way to work. Again, NORMAL cause I get car sick very very easy!

Just taking it day by day and praying for a positive outcome even though sometimes I can't help but go back "it is never going to happen!"

Sounds like you've got a good plan Mandy! Hopefully you won't have to think about it anymore after this month!! :-) I'm waiting to see some bfp's flying around for someone!

As for me, I am drained.. mentally, physically, emotionally. I really had taken the whole process for granted. My son was a surprise, planned, but surprised that it happened so soon. So I didn't realize all that it takes from you to keep trying month after month. Even getting the chance to be stunned when I saw positives again just to have it stripped away within a week. I really believe that my body needs a break, even though that means it'll be longer before I see my baby, I just don't know how much more my mind can handle. Only on cd3 so I've got a lil while to think and pray about it.

Hi Ladies and thanks a lot for the welcoming!
It makes me really sad when i surf the Internet and i see women everywhere with conceiveing Problems... i never imagined that i would be fighting over 2 years for a Baby... i always hat periodic Check-ups, i only took AC for 6 months when i was 16, never had an abortion... never had any diseases of any kind... and still, here i am, trying for over 2 years...

It took me a lot of time to go pass the whole crazy thoughts in the TWW: "my belly feels funny..i could be pregnant", "i felt a twinge in my belly... could be Implantation"... and so on and so on, even when i sneezed i was thinking i could be pregnant.. I educated myself to try and ignore all the crazy thoughts and to stop planning everything based on "what if i am pregnant at that time". Found a Balance but it is very very fragile.

Thanks for the babydust and lots of sticky Magic babydust to you too!

Astrid how many days past ov are you? My tww just ended Monday.. I had all these different feelings like gurgles and sharp twinges, I thought for sure this is it! But for me it wasn't. I always say I'm not gonna symptom spot and get all excited but I break every single time. I hope this is it for you!! Time for some more good news in here!

7DPO and other than the typical twinges/cramps/pulling I feel NOTHING! However I did cry at work today, my DH pissed me off! Lol sometimes working with your spouse sucks :-)

Astrid, I try super hard not too symptom spot. Sometimes I feel I am too negative about it all. My husband says I have no Faith in getting pregnant. IT IS HARD TO STAY POSITIVE!!!! After years of trying and two miscarriages.
